Studio: Liden Films
Starring: Soma Saito, Akane Fujita, Yume Miyamoto
Episodes: 12

Synopsis:
A slacker is assigned to serve as a substitute instructor at a prestigious magic academy.

Impressions:
This is a series that was introduced to me via Fantasia Re:Build. The main character Glenn is fairly prominent in the game, so I wanted to see him in his own series. It's amusing to watch the contrast of Glenn's slacker ways with the academy's more straitlaced faculty and student body. In particular, the antagonistic relationship between Glenn and his tsundere pupil Sistine is fairly amusing to watch. It comes as little surprise that there's more to Glenn than what he appears, and things get interesting as we dig into his past and he starts to take his work a little more seriously. The ending will leave you wanting more, but as of now, there's no follow-up in animated form. I'd say it's worth a watch, so give it a shot.
